Sewable USB Type C Power Jack Connector

If you’d like to connect a USB-C connector to your favourite garment to make a fun wearable tech project, then try out the array of sewable connectors we have. This is a Type C connector that is oriented in a horizontal position to the sewable base it’s housed on with red and black wires running through the bottom. 

The jack is moulded into rubber that can be hand or machine-sewed through. Then, it connects to the power wires on the end. Red is positive/power, and black is negative/ground. If desired, you can also glue/epoxy/staple it to a flat surface.

Please Note: Like many USB-C cable adapters we’ve found, the CC lines are not tied to anything, so this will not respond properly to USB PD requests. If you want to use it to charge a device, make sure your power adapter will default to 5V output if CC is not connected. Macs, specifically, are picky about requiring CC lines.

We also stock a Micro B and a 5.5/2.1mm DC Jack version

Detector and cables are NOT included
